I had the great pleasure of attending the Paseo de las Ánimas in Mérida. It kicked off festivities for Hanal Pixan, a Mayan holiday celebrated in Yucatán at the same time as Día de Mu***os with many of the same traditions. The paseo represents the return of souls to the world of the living. Altars are created to aid in their return, accompanied by a large procession from the cemetery into the city center.
